Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A touch panel display device, comprising: a display panel having a scroll bar extending along a Y-axis direction; a lower transparent sheet bonded to the display panel; an upper transparent sheet over the lower transparent sheet and separated from the lower transparent sheet; an upper conductive transparent film formed on the upper transparent sheet and having only a pair of first electrodes extending only along a X-axis direction that perpendicularly crosses the Y-axis direction of the scroll bar with no electrodes extending along the Y-axis, wherein each of the first electrodes has a shape with two longer opposing sides and two shorter sides; a lower conductive transparent film formed on the lower transparent sheet and having only a pair of substantially opposing second electrodes extending only along the Y-axis direction, wherein the lower conductive transparent film is disposed between the display panel and the upper conductive transparent film, wherein each of the second electrodes has a shape with two longer opposing sides and two shorter sides; a first tail line directly connected to one of the two shorter sides of one of the first electrodes; a second tail line directly connected to one of the two shorter sides of the other one of the first electrodes; a third tail line directly connected to one of the two shorter sides of one of the second electrodes; and a fourth tail line directly connected to one of the two shorter sides of the other one of the second electrodes, wherein the second electrodes and the first through the fourth tail lines are concentrated along a plurality of edges of the touch panel so as not to form a dead space margin along an edge of the touch panel extending in the Y-axis.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the upper transparent sheet includes polyethylene terephthalate, and the lower transparent sheet includes at least one of glass, plastic, and polyethylene terephthalate.

3

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the touch panel has a length longer along the Y-axis direction of the scroll bar than along the X-axis direction.

4

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of second electrodes is formed along right and left edges of the lower conductive transparent film.

5

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of first electrodes is formed along top and bottom edges of the upper conductive transparent film.

6

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of first electrodes and the pair of second electrodes have rectangular shapes.

7

7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein one or more of the first tail line, the second tail line, the third tail line, and the fourth tail line is directly connected to a corner of the electrode.

8

8. A method of fabricating a touch panel display device, comprising: providing a display panel having a scroll bar extending along a Y-axis direction; forming an upper conductive transparent film on an upper transparent sheet and a lower conductive transparent film on a lower transparent sheet; forming only a pair of first electrodes on the upper conductive transparent film formed on the upper transparent sheet, the pair of first electrodes extending only along a X-axis direction that substantially perpendicularly crosses the Y-axis direction of the scroll bar with no electrodes extending along the Y-axis, wherein each of the first electrodes has a shape with two longer opposing sides and two shorter sides; forming only a pair of second electrodes on the lower conductive transparent film formed on the lower transparent sheet, the pair of second electrodes extending only along the Y-axis direction, wherein the lower transparent film is disposed between the display panel and the upper transparent film, wherein each of the second electrodes has a shape with two longer opposing sides and two shorter sides; forming a first tail line directly connected to one of the two shorter sides of one of the first electrodes; forming a second tail line directly connected to one of the two shorter sides of the other one of the first electrodes; forming a third tail line directly connected to one of the two shorter sides of one of the second electrodes; and forming a fourth tail line directly connected to one of the two shorter sides of the other one of the second electrodes, wherein the second electrodes and the first through the fourth tail lines are concentrated along a plurality of edges of the touch panel so as not to form a dead space margin along an edge of the touch panel extending in the Y-axis.

9

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the upper transparent sheet includes polyethylene terephthalate, and the lower transparent sheet includes at least one of glass, plastic, and polyethylene terephthalate.

10

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the touch panel display device has a length longer in the Y-axis direction of the scroll bar than along the X-axis direction perpendicularly crossing the Y-axis direction of the scroll bar.

11

11. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the pair of second electrodes is formed along right and left edges of the lower conductive transparent film.

12

12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the pair of first electrodes is formed along top and bottom edges of the upper conductive transparent film.

13

13. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the pair of first electrodes and the pair of second electrodes are formed in rectangular shapes.

14

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein one or more of the first tail line, the second tail line, the third tail line, and the fourth tail line is formed to directly connect to a corner of the electrode.
